Common Energy announced it will offer relief to government employees affected by the federal government shutdown by paying their electricity bills for up to two months.
The offer will be eligible for government employees in New York, areas except New York City and Long Island.
According to CEO of Common Energy Richard Keiser, “Government employees will benefit in three ways: immediate relief for outstanding electricity bills, long-term savings through a contracted discount to their electric utility, and immediate environmental impact by reducing carbon emissions.”
Based on demand and company resources, the company may expand the offer to other states.
